*my blackfish is a polleni, not synspilum!!!

out of all the fishes i have. my favorites are:

Midas- this guy is full of personality
Jaguar- he was the first fish i bought
Dovii- neat behavior
Texas- caught these guys from a warm spring
Jack Dempsey- he's an old fish that sits on top of the water waiting for food to come lol
Festae (they're only 2 inches so hopefully as they grow, they move up on the list)

The Best Cichlid to own would have to be a pair of Full Grown jaguars in their prime!

And as far Oscars go, I hate them....they move slow, eat slow, look slow, grow slow, they're just slow! But to each his own.. I'd rather have a pair of convicts than a a pair of oscars.

If your Oscars grew slow, you were doing something wrong. One of the fastest growers I've ever come into contact with in the hobby.

LOL @ someone who

a) doesnt realize the original post was 2 SUBJECTIVE questions, what pair AND why...

b) goes around MFK thinking the oscar is the only fish anyone should own and no other fish could possibly be as cool to someone else as the "o"

c) belittles, criticizes & harasses others through PMs and thread posts about a stupid fish.

Oscars are gluttonous & sloppy...2 of many reasons I dont keep them. If you want a dog, get a dog.

Oh, and since this is like the 30th thread where youve basically said "derrrrrr...derp e derp derrr...othcars are the bestest derp e derrrr"...you now go to ignore with all the other people that crowd this forum with nonsense, repetive & contributionless posts.

To the OP...

I am currently looking forward to having a managuense pair. I enjoy the jags tenacity and fearless personality (at least with my current one.) Other jags Ive had were always hiders and skittish.

Aequidens aequinoctialis "silversaum".

Motaguense,Haitiensis(BlackNasty),Beani,Islatum,Trimac, or Festae, why because all those fish are fish I have never owned but my uncle they have owned some and I want some
